If you were involved in a conversation with someone who claimed that they had only 30 minutes a week, or five minutes a day to devote to Earth Community activism, what would you advise them to do?

First, I would discuss their background and try to recommend books that would be helpful for them to understand the issues and possible answers to the peril that we face as humans on the planet earth.
Secondly, I would recommend that they read Korten's "When Corporations Rule the World" and Schmidheiny's "Changing Course" with a special caveat with respect to the latter.
Then I would ask them to read my blog at www.peoplesequityunion.blogspot.com and take the time to comment on one essay per week (start reading from the oldest essay first then comment on any one(s) that you choose. I would also ask that they take a little time to spread the word about my web log (i.e. blog).
I would ask that they always carry love in their hearts, because without love we will never accomplish the mighty task that lies ahead to transition to a peaceful, equitable, sustainable planet.
I'm a Work kin for peace and cooperation.
With much love and care,
Mike Morin
